I don't really have a problem with the results at Worlds. Certainly I would give Chan lower scores in interpretation and in choreography and I would give more to Takahashi in those segments. Nevertheless, I believe Chan would still be the winner.
In dance, it's just so difficult to pick between Davis & White and Virtue & Moir!

But, the problem shall be...if everyone is as civilized as you are and thinks this way, this forum gets so peaceful that some of the members here have nothing to complain about, no naysayers to snap at and may get bored.
Now the season is finally over, we may get in a big trouble like 'how are we gonna kill the time during the offseason?'

^^ Although her pcs should be much closer to Carolina's (with the exception of skating skills, I guess). I have no idea why those judges never seem to really love Akiko's choreography and interpretation. I think she's brilliant.

Reason #1: PCS is mostly about reputations. It was Suzuki's only second trip to Worlds.
Reason #2: She has little to no support from JSF. Look at Asada's PCS in FS, which was higher than Suzuki's.

Your second point is something I don't understand. How does the support of the Japanese Federation affect the judges' marks? (I'm not arguing, I'm asking.) If Akiko does a great job (which she clearly did this year), wouldn't the judges give her higher marks than other skaters? Even Mao, who has just not had a good year? (And I speak as a Mao fan.)

Now I don't understand your question. Lobbying is part of the game we call figure skating.
